In the new trailer that AMC released Thursday for The walking deadthe six bonus episodes of season 10, Negan by Jeffrey Dean Morgan is haunted by a familiar voice: your own. “Piggy, piggy, let me in”, says a version of himself in the dragging of the Savior’s chief (bat and all).
And that was definitely not the antihero that Glenn and Abraham’s killer has been involved in since his fall. No, our new and improved Negan looks like he’s going to spend a dark night of the soul staring at the relentless villain that we – and maybe he – thought was gone forever.
In another part of the action-packed promotion, newly returned cast member Lauren Cohan’s Maggie also struggles with Negan’s past. The son Hershel, she says, asked what happened to the bad man who killed his father. Did he get what he deserved? Which, of course, leads straight to the question: “Does he ever did he get what he deserved? “
Meanwhile, amid glimpses of guest stars Robert Patrick and Hilarie Burton Morgan in action as, respectively, Mays and Lucille (also known as Negan’s late wife), Aaron de Ross Marquand is seen furiously putting a gun to his own head . WTH?!? Think of Gracie, man! At the same time, Gabriel de Seth Gilliam warns: “Bad people are no exception to the rule. They it is the rule.”
But if the long-running zombie drama has taught us anything, it’s not true. And in the last six episodes of season 10, the preacher and his friends would do well to remember that. As the official logline provokes, when we get back to the action, “we found our survivors trying to pull themselves together by their boots after the destruction that the Whisperers left in their wake. Years of struggle weigh on them as past traumas surface, exposing their most vulnerable sides.
“While questioning the state of humanity, the state of their collective community and the state of their minds, will they find the inner strength to persevere with their lives, friendships and groups intact?”
Something tells us that this will happen, at least until 2022, when the 11th season and the series will end. To check the promotion, just click on the video above. Then, make the comments right with the things you want to see happen before the end of the show.
